Improved chondrogenic performance with protective tracheal design of Chitosan membrane surrounding 3D-printed trachea

Abstract In recent tracheal tissue engineering, limitations in cartilage reconstruction, caused by immature delivery of chondrocyte-laden components, have been reported beyond the complete epithelialization and integration of the tracheal substitutes with the host tissue. In an attempt to overcome s...
